Asbury Park Boardwalk

Asbury Park Boardwalk is an iconic boardwalk that was first built in 1870 and has since then been a favorite destination for tourists and locals alike. The boardwalk spans over two miles and runs parallel to Asbury Park’s beachfront. It features a variety of attractions, including a water park, amusement park, mini golf course, shops, restaurants, bars, and more. Visitors can enjoy a scenic walk along the boardwalk, enjoy a beach day, or spend a day filled with fun rides and attractions. The first boardwalk was built as an attraction for the wealthy city dwellers, who flocked there during the summer months. In the early 1900s, the boardwalk was expanded to cater to a wider audience, and it's popularity continued to grow. It was a popular destination during World War II and the post-war era, where it drew in thousands of visitors every year. Asbury Park Boardwalk was the birthplace of the rock legend Bruce Springsteen, who famously performed at the Stone Pony, a live music venue located on the boardwalk, early in his career. The Stone Pony is still a popular venue and attracts many visitors interested in experiencing Asbury Park's musical heritage.
